Slavic Acquisitions

For over 50 years, the Library has supported one of the West's largest and deepest collections on Russia, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia (now estimated at approximately 800,000 volumes). Each year, materials in dozens of languages from over 30 countries are added to the collection through a combination of approval plans, firm orders, and full-text database subscriptions. Slavic technical services staff order and process materials in all disciplines, with a focus on social sciences and the humanities.
